First quarter of my 2024 reads, Jan to April

So far It’s a toss up between A Month in the Country, Fingersmith and Lessons as my favourite.

Good secondhand book haul today- just finished the previous Robin Hobb book this morning and found the whole next series in a bookshop in town this afternoon!

7 books for £12, I love this little shop

What I read in April.

Nothing I absolutely love this month, which is a shame, not many books either compared to the rest of the year so far.

I liked Pnin, very well observed and some very funny bits. Similarly, I loved sections of The Biographer’s Tale but didn’t feel like it amounted to anything particularly interesting, my least favourite Byatt I’ve read. Road Dogs was fine, but nothing like as witty or readable as other Elmore Leonard books I’ve read.

Saga 9 and 10 both good as usual, some big twists, lots of beautiful art.

Oh well, not every month brings a new favourite! I’m halfway through a couple of things I’m very much enjoying, so fingers crossed for May

I’m nearing my 100th ‘favourite books’ commission, so here are a few recent favourites.

You can get a print of your own faves via my shop, I love doing them and the prints themselves look fantastic too!

Someone recommended this to me on here a while ago, then I found this nice old edition for £1 last week!

Absolutely up my alley so far, especially having recently been on holiday to Cornwall. What a creepy, trippy cover too.

Packing some orders, watching the old film of Talented Mr Ripley to compare with the tv show.

Both good! I also love the book, must start reading the others

The April drawing is going to look extremely barren unless I speed up with the 4 I have on the go in the next week!

What I read in March!

Lots of variety, one kids book read to my daughter (I read more than 1 a month to her but this was the only new one!), some fantasy, a brilliant, brilliant sci-fi book where the sci-fi part isn’t important (everyone needs to read everything by RC Sherriff!), a book about walking, a great Jhumpa Lahiri short story collection and a comic you can read free online at Substack.

Also read Carisa Lloyd’s book about grief, coincidentally around the 7th anniversary of my dad dying- I found it enormously helpful, her podcast is great too, as a rec for anyone else in the club.

What did you read last month?
